Liberals finally waking up?

With trump almost gone, many liberals don’t seem to be suffering from tds no more and are finally thinking clearly again.



is this a new trend or is bill gonna be called a “right winger” and get cancelled soon?

Lol, Bill has been like this for over a decade.
 
Maher has always seen the folly of progressives. Not a bombshell. Although, he wasn't as stern as he could've been, because they were still allies for the cause. The thing him and others are gonna have to struggle with in the future, are dealing with the insane progressive demographic they've used to catch the car they've been chasing for four years.

Time to tell the children that Santa Clause doesn't really exist, I guess.

The left does this kind of self-flagellation after every election where there's power left on the table. There's plenty of examples from 2016 as well.

Maher does have a good point though that left is starting to behave like the worst authoritarian regimes of the past, silencing people, disappearing people (not literally). For all their talk of Democracy it seems to be just a means to an end. They don't care much for freedoms because they don't trust people to make their own decisions and live their own lives.
 
That hesitation after the first joke...

No applause sign, a moment of deep self reflection, or the audience is just too young to get it? Place your bets
I vote for ..just not funny. Sounded like any other comedienne bombing.
 
You serious? Maher has been this way for years and Trumpers always rail on him.
Shhhs it doesn’t help his narrative. @grimballer you know better, you e been around here long enough to read the various Bill Maher threads attacking liberals.
 
I have to agree with Bill Maher here. He is spot on.
 
I can't get past how pompous Maher is despite not being that funny. He likely has some salient points in his commentary, but I've been ignoring him for years because he's insufferable. Not the worst of the worst like Olberman, but bad enough.

here is a progressive response to bill maher. i think its really good but it denies the premise that social justice is what is making dems lose and places it rather on corruption and shit policy proposals.

every single medicare for all democrat won the election down ballot including in swing districts but blue dogs lost a lot. maybe its that dems are almost as bad as republicans while claiming to be better.

further rather than maher's assertion that people don't vote on policy this video states that they do and will especially if you give them some fucking polices they can get behind.

 
How about a summation of the vid at least , pretty hollow thread
It’s 8mins of entertainment television. If you don’t have 8 mins to check something out, you should respect not having the time to take requests for creating a summary of 8 mins for you.
 
From this post I'm getting one major theme: that CRT focusses on our differences that apparently CRT maintains are immutable. Is that correct? If so, what makes you say that? And how does CRT differ from something like, say, the bell curve or similar works?

CRT views race relations through a lens of anti-liberalism and anti-objectivity. It rejects the virtues of reason and the enlightenment, favouring a revisionist, narrative-based world-building approach in understanding and explaining social interactions.
This rejection of the scientific method and reliance on emotional resonance as "evidence" is troubling, especially in an ideology that ties ones skin colour to the level of evil one is likely to engage in, unconsciously or otherwise. And, because it does not provide actual refutable evidence, the problems it identifies are not necessarily problems that exist, and therefore they're not problems that can truly be solved - they're just storytelling puppet-strings by which the population is made to dance.

Take, for example, the drama that surrounded the George Floyd incident. One junkie gets killed by a cop and suddenly, you had people speaking about how black people are being slaughtered in the streets by racist white cops. That's a narrative, a story, a fictional drama. One that emotionally triggered enough people that it had them demanding that the police be defunded - a solution that is itself not couched in reality and that was clearly divisive as fuck.
 
Applause at 2:00 onward! Glad Maher sees it too about the white disingenuous SJW liberals. I said the same thing, these rich people are so disconnected with the real world they bow to Twitter outrage because they feel it the voice of the people, because they dont interact with common man in real life they only get what the news and twitter tells them.

I notice the same thing as a minority I dont trust any white person who puts BLM hashtags or panders, no latino knows wtf a LatinX shit is that was started by some non latins also same shit with the BLM that shit is started by non blacks its not organic like the black panthers.

any white liberal who supports BLM is another fake, it shows they follow mainstream media or democratic policies and cannot think on thier own two feet, if they really cared about being a better NON racist person they wouldnt need the democrats or hollywood and tweeter to tell them black lives matter, they would have been doing things without announcing they are doing or supporting a cause

these are all narcissistic social justice warrior with a savior complex white liberals who secretly have hate and spite in thier heart.
While there are aspects of truth to this and I share many of your sentiments, with all due respect, you got some facts wrong yourself. Black Lives Matter was started by 3 black women named Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi. I don't know if you just assumed it was started by "non blacks" or if someone told you that, but either way, that's simply incorrect. This is what the founders of Black Lives Matter look like:

You can question their ideas. You can question their judgment. But you can't question their blackness.

He must be thinking of Racheal Doezal and Shaun King
 
I would describe it also as economical liberal social conservative. If that helps you understand where I'm coming from. Guns the American flag blue collar language .... but still aware healthcare needs to be nationalized
I don't know if "social conservative" is the right way to put it. I think I get what you mean, but social conservatism is associated with opposition to legalized abortion, same-sex marriage, LGBT rights, anti-porn, etc. All the Moral Majority bullshit. I don't think you support all that. I think, much like me, you're just not into the woke shit and id pol and cancel culture and word policing, that type of bullshit.
 
well I used to enjoy his show before, cause he is/was a “true liberal”

- wants the government to be more involved in regulating businesses

Outside of that he doesn’t really want/trusts government that much, especially being involved in persons private life

Since trump ran and got elected he lost his mind (like most on the left) and his show became absurd trump bashing hour. He would promote those wild conspiracy theories about trump bring a Russian agent

So the moment he starts criticising Trump, he's "lost his mind"... Riiiiight.....

Also funny how when someone from the left makes unverified claims, it's a "conspiracy theory", but when Trump does it, he's "onto something".

Libs are finally waking up. When will Trumpers wake up?
 
I used to religiously (lulz) watch Bill Maher until he revealed himself to be a islamophobe, libertarian, anti-vaxxer.

Meh there’s basically no difference between liberals and conservatives economy wise. It’s all the same giving because it’s your obligation as an elite instead of treating everyone like equals.

The social issues are majorly important and the dems gain points on that front for not actively wishing to harm minorities or LGBTQ communities, but even on these issues the majority seem centre right. Dems as a whole are republican lite. They love business, business, business capitalism blah blah blah fuck off.

I’m a socialist that socially is very progressive while being a nonxephobice nationalist so I find nothing much to like in the liberal ideology cept for some crossover on social issues.

We are not equals none of us are. You are free but not smart enough to do what Musk Bezos or Zuckerberg did thats on you. And they owe you nothing. If you were too stupid to buy their stock that's on you.

Businesses employ people. I get thats a hard concept for socialists to comprehend.

So fuck off with your failure commie loser bs. Earn your way stop wishing and hoping to steal other peoples shit.

F**k him. It’s too little too late.

If Biden/Kamala get elected, I hope they go full far-left scorched earth, and give everyone what they voted for.

People are too comfortable and need to learn the hard way.
 
Nobody thinks higher of Maher than Maher, at 6:28 he stopped to congratulate himself. He doesn’t want the left to change, he wants them to dial it back.

Frog in the boiling water.
